1) I believe that the world came from the Gods creations and the big bang theory. I believe that God created everything that happen to make the world after the big bang theory. So basically I think that God was created by the big bang and after that he created life as we know it. He created the plants, the animals, and the bacteria...etc
2) There is evil in the world because without evil there would be no good in the world. I believe that without evil everyone in the world, the world would just be very ordinary and nothing would really ever happen. Even though there are so many evils in the world there are so many goods too. Good and evil basically co-exist and make stuff happen in the world. So without good there would be no evil and without evil there would be know good. Evil in the world also makes people good because they know what al evil can do to society.
3) After you die, I don't really know if I believe that when you die you good to either a better or a worse place or that you will live another life after that as another creature. I believe in basically a little bit of both. That at first you will go to a better or worse place to stay as before you are given a new form. And then from there you will been even a new body/being based on how you were in your past life. The people who were good will become humans again and live fulfilling life's, while the people who are bad will become an animal, such as a rabbit. Also it goes the same for the animals such as a rabbit. If the rabbit is good in there life and makes good choices they will become a higher animal in here next life such as a eagle or lion. The souls that are extremely bad will be given an animal that is extinct, which means they are banished and will ever live in a new form.
4) No matter what is ahead of us in the afterlife, I believe that you should live life to the fullest no matter what you will become or what will happen in the end. You should always do what you want to do and make good choices in life. Even though nothing of this may matter in the afterlife, it still will make your life on earth a whole lot better more fulfilling.
Me: Hello Guru, are you really a true reincarnation of god?
Guru: Why yes, yes I am.
Me: So you would be okay with me asking you a couple of questions relating to Hinduism?
Guru: Sure, I'd love to here them.
Me: So in this life at least I am always good most of the time and should have good karma, but it seems that no matter how hard I try to have good karma there is always so bad karma that I get.
Guru: That is perfectly true, even if someone is a perfect person all around that doesn't mean that they will have all good karma. Sometimes bad karma will just run into them.
Me: Okay that makes sense, so is dharma really basically the key to everything in life?
Guru: Well I think you need to remember this always: You have to follow your dharma to get go karma and achieve moksha. So dharma is not the key to everything, it is more like the starting or the foundation.
Me: Oh that reminds me, I have a question about moksha, How many life times does it usually take to achieve moksha?
Guru: There is no real number to answer this question, but there is something I will tell you: If your a good person in all your lifetimes, you will keep moving up on the earth and sooner than later you will have achieved moksha.
Me: Thanks
Guru: My pleasure, just remember always follow your dharma.
After this experience, I have realized how hard it is to be mindful and stay mindful for five minutes. Now that I actually think about it, all day everyday there is something on my mind, so clearing your mind is a hard thing to do because life will keep moving and things will keep changing. About the first two minutes or so it is easy to just relax and stay mindful but in the second half of the five minutes it becomes harder and harder. I would start to think about the time and when I'm going to be done. Then my mind wander to the topic, what am I going to do for the rest of the day, or why did our teacher give this to us as homework. Being mindful is sometimes peaceful but also it can be irritating, because you can't do anything basically and I consider it as kind a waste time. This experiment shows like how active your mind is and how much concentration it takes to be completely mindful.
No, I would not change the Ten Commandments at all because that would mean the religion would change in a way God did not intend it to change in. Even though some of the Commandments are kind of harsh I still would not change a thing. Changing the Ten Commandments would most likely change the religion in a huge way. For example if you took out one of the commandants that would totally stop the practice of not doing that and it would also become the nine Commandants then. Abraham got the Ten Commandments from God and the only one who should be able to change them is God.
The Parable of Good Samaritan relates to my life the most. It tells you that basically you should be good and nice to others so they are nice to you. I could have used this parable in multiple situations. Including when you see someone sitting alone table and you don't even go up and talk to them. If I was remembered of this parable daily I would do something differently for the greater good.
There are many misconceptions about Islam in the U.S. I think that because of 9/11 and everything else that has happened in the world make these impressions are fair to an extent. If all Americans were to live as Muslims for at least a week they would better understand Muslims and how they live. Most people take misconceptions to fair though and put their anger out on every single Muslim in the world, when only a small fraction of them are actually bad.
